How to Write Personalized 1st Birthday Wishes
Personalize the message by using a cute nickname or pet name. Sweet nicknames and pet names can add a touch of cuteness to your message. It's also totally fine to address them using their first name (especially if you're writing a formal message), since that also feels personal. If you want to address the baby by “sweet one,” “darling,” “little one,” or “sweet baby,” you can do so with or without including their name.
Celebrate milestones like first words, steps, or smiles. By the time a baby turns one, they’ve already taken their 1st step, said “mama” or “dada,” and had many giggles and laughs. Including that in your happy 1st birthday message is a beautiful way to honor their big “firsts” so both they and their parents can look back with fondness on their first year. If the baby turning 1 hasn’t had any significant firsts, avoid mentioning it in your birthday greeting. Focus on the positive and keep your wishes lighthearted and joyful. You can get 1st birthday cards that are customized for a child’s 1st birthday, while still including the message inside the card you write.
Mention your relationship (parent, family, friend). Birthday wishes for 1-year-olds differ because of who they’re coming from. If you’re their parent, write birthday cards to your little one that are focused on how much happiness they’ve brought into your life, and how proud you are of them. If you’re a grandparent or other family member, discuss what that role means to you. If you’re a friend or guest at the party, it’s fine to simply wish them a happy 1st birthday.
Keep the tone playful and light. Though a 1st birthday is a big milestone in a baby’s life, you don’t need to give them too much life advice just yet. Share your wishes in a fun way and focus on their big day, along with things like their party and 1st birthday cake. It’s fine to include a meaningful line about when they grow up; just don’t take up too much space for a birthday card they won’t be able to read for several years.
Send your best wishes for their bright future in closing. Reiterate how much you wish them the happiest of 1st birthdays and end your greeting with a warm closing. Use words like “Love,” “With love,” “All our love,” or simply, “Happy birthday.”
How to Plan a 1st Birthday Party
Keep the guest list small and the party short. Since a 1-year-old can be moody and uncomfortable in larger groups, plan a birthday party that is more like a small gathering, including the parents and a few family members or friends. The party is more for the adults who will remember the day, so limit the activities to about 2 hours total. It’s enough time to celebrate, take some memorable photos, and sing “Happy Birthday” to your little one. As your child gets older, there will be plenty of other birthdays they can celebrate with a bigger group of people. Take your baby’s napping schedule into consideration; if you know they’re going to get super cranky around 2 pm, have the party earlier (for example, between 10 am and 12 pm). Include important details on the birthday party invitation, like the time and place of the event.
Include bright, festive decorations and activities. It’s likely to be a small party, so you don’t need to decorate for a birthday party throughout the entire house or backyard. Balloons, a 1st birthday sign, and some additional 1st birthday-themed decor are enough to set the scene. You can also get matching paper plates, napkins, and cups that everyone can use. If you do decide on including unique 1st birthday party themes, some that are simple and fun include the following: Wild One Berry First Winnie the Pooh First Rodeo Dinosaur Magical Unicorn First Trip Around the Sun One-der the Sea Hungry Caterpillar
Consider having two birthday cakes so the baby can smash one. Because smash cakes are a trending favorite among parents who want to take a photo or video of their 1-year-old digging into their birthday cake, it’s a good idea to buy or make a small-sized plain cake babies can “smash,” along with a decorated birthday cake for the guests to eat. Other 1st birthday party food favorites include veggies and dip, soft fruit, and yogurt (for any other babies or toddlers). Adults can enjoy finger foods like sandwiches, charcuterie platters, or pizza.
Choose gifts that the birthday boy or girl will want to play with. Fun and unique ideas include early learning activities, sensory toys, bathtime accessories, or personalized keepsakes they will cherish when they're old enough. Other 1st birthday gift choices are ahead: Video scrapbook Memory photo book Nursery decor DIY scrapbooking kit
